Please Release Me: October 2006 Edition

Well, it's not like Oct. 3rd isn't already busy enough as it is, CD-release-wise -- new stuff from Beck, the Decemberists, the Hold Steady, even the Killers (though their new album is getting absolutely miserable reviews). But, hey, even in the kids' music segment we got a new (sort of) Ralph's World. Not to mention a bunch of other stuff to look forward to.

So here we go:

Oct. 1: AudraRox - I Can Do It By Myself
Oct. 3: Ralph's World - Welcome To Ralph's World
Oct. 8: The Sippy Cups - Electric Storyland
Oct. 10: Gothic Archies (Stephin Merritt) - The Tragic Treasury: Songs from a Series of Unfortunate Events
Oct. 16: V/A - Colours Are Brighter
Oct. 17: V/A - New Orleans Playground (Putumayo)
Oct. 24: Wee Hairy Beasties (Jon Langford, Sally Timms, Kelly Hogan, Devil in a Woodpile) - Animal Crackers
Oct. 24: V/A - Old Town School of Folk Music Songbook Vol. 1

Ah, my boy Beck.... So much music to be excited about in October. It's my favorite month! And sweet Annie turns three.

I'm interested in the Old Town School of Folk Music Vol. 1--I wonder who will be on it? Ella Jenkins? Ralph Covert? Dan Zanes? Other greats I haven't discovered yet?

BTW, the latest Ralph's World newsletter, announcing the big release of the CD/DVD today, also included a link to an article about him in last Sunday's Chicago Sun. If you're as interested in The Bad Examples as Ralph's World, it's a pretty fun read.

Happy birthday to Annie!

Dan Zanes and Friends does an intriguing version of "Drunken Sailor," Erin Flynn sings "Amazing Grace," and the album also includes appearances by Alice Peacock and John Stiratt from Wilco.
